I have a spring application that uses quartz cron trigger. I have given the following for frequency 0 0/20 * * * ?.....once every 20 min. But i want the first one to run immediately. Right now, when I start the application, it runs after 20 min. I was hoping it would run asap and then after 20 min.
Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you want to use an interval trigger (SimpleTrigger in Quartz can do the job).
The CronTrigger wants you to specify the minutes at which to run.
So your trigger schedule says: start at 0 minutes, and run every 20 minutes after that until the hour is over. Then start at 0 again.
But with the SimpleTrigger, you say - start now and run every 20 minutes.
Here is a tutorial on SimpleTrigger:
http://quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.x/tutorials/tutorial-lesson-05
Here is a tutorial on CronTrigger:
http://quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-1.x/tutorials/crontrigger
You don't need CRON expression (and Quartz at all!) to run given code every 20 minutes. Just use fixed rate (Spring built-in):
#Scheduled(fixedRate=20 * 60 * 1000)
That's it! By default first invocation happens immediately, second after 20 minutes. Since Spring 3.2 you can even say initialDelay=10000 to run for the first time after exactly 10 seconds.
If you really want to use Quartz, check out SimpleTrigger.

I have a job running in spring boot and I want to run it every 30 minutes between 12 AM and 8 AM starting at 12 AM. I am struggling to figure out the cron-expression that can be used to achieve this.
This is the cron you described: * 0/30 0-8 ? * *
My Oracle DBA have setup a task with following repeat_interval:
Start Date :"30/JAN/20 08:00AM"
Repeat_interval: "FREQ=DAILY; INTERVAL=0; BYMINUTE=15"
Can I ask what is "Interval=0" means?
Does it means this task will run daily from 8AM, and will repeat every 15 mins until success?
I tried to get the answer from Google, but what I find is what is Interval=1, but nothing for 0.
So would be great if anyone can share me some light here.
Thanks in advance!
INTERVAL is the number of increments of the FREQ value between executions. I believe in this case that a value of 0 or 1 would be the same. The schedule as shown would execute once per day (FREQ=DAILY), at approximately 15 minutes past a random hour (BYMINUTE=15, but BYHOUR and BYSECOND are not set).
Schedule has nothing to do with whether or not the previous execution succeeded or not. Start Date is only the date at which the job was enabled, not when it actually starts processing.
If you want it to run every 15 minutes from the moment you enable it, you should set as follows:
FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=15
If you want it to run exactly on the quarter hour, then this:
FREQ=MINUTELY; BYMINUTE=0,15,30,45; BYSECOND=0
If you want it to run every day at 8am, then this:
FREQ=DAILY; BYHOUR=8; BYMINUTE=0; BYSECOND=0
I would like to schedule an event for every 15 seconds and must use flux library.
Using '0 0 +15' I'm able to set a schedule to run every 15 minutes,
However, when I tried for 15 sec my event is not picked up.
Any ideas on how I can resolve this?
Like a lot of users i've some problems configuring Magento cronjobs (my cartrules doesn't update properly on Magento 1.8.1. I also modified my cron.php adding $isShellDisabled = true;).
A tried a lot of things, but it doesn't work. Installed AOE scheduler, and i see all my tasks as pending!
My hosting let me to call cron.php once a day (3 am, and it's working, becase it generates the tasks at that time), so i'm wondering if is useless having settings like this:
Generate Schedules Every 15
Schedule Ahead for 1
Missed if Not Run Within 60
History Cleanup Every 120
Success History Lifetime 1400
Failure History Lifetime 1400
If i run manually the cron.php, it generates tasks for a hour, all pending (for example, my cart rules XML are set to update every 15 minutes, so i get 4 cartrules tasks)
If i run it again (after few minutes), all tasks between this time change form Pending to Success.
So, have i to call it at least twice a day? Or i have to change my cron settings?
thank you for the help
Use this cron expression for each hour:
<cron_expr>0 * * * *</cron_expr>
This will make it run at 12.00, 1.00 and so on.
If you want to make it run at 12.30, 1.30 and so on replace 0 with 30
I have a spring batch application and i am using CRON to set how often this application runs. But the problem i am running into is that i want to run the job on specific hours
3 am
7 am
11 am
3 pm
7 pm
11 pm
As you can see it is every 4 hours but starts at 3 am so i cannot use */4 in the hours section of the timing format as this would start the job at 4am
I have also tried '3,7,11,15,19,23' in the hours section but this does not work either (guessing it only works in the minutes section). Does someone know how i can do this?
Use
#Scedule(cron="0 0 3/4 * * ?")
The Pattern x/y means: where <timepart> mod y = x
or
#Scedule(cron="0 0 3,7,11,15,19,21 * * ?")
According to the Quartz Cron Trigger Tutorial:
The '/' character can be used to specify increments to values. For
example, if you put '0/15' in the Minutes field, it means 'every 15th
minute of the hour, starting at minute zero'. If you used '3/20' in
the Minutes field, it would mean 'every 20th minute of the hour,
starting at minute three' - or in other words it is the same as
specifying '3,23,43' in the Minutes field. Note the subtlety that
"/35" does *not mean "every 35 minutes" - it mean "every 35th minute
of the hour, starting at minute zero" - or in other words the same as
specifying '0,35'.
0 0 3,7,11,15,19,23 * * ?
Fires for 0 minute starting at 3am and ending at 23:00 pm every day.
judging by the two answers above the error i was making was i was keeping the apostrophe at the start and end of my hours... very silly
i managed to solve this by using 3-23/4 for the hour as this starts from 3am and then every other fourth hour (just a different way of doing it to the other answers)
